By republishing a work published in 2008, which takes into account the
latest published research, the author shows that while the French
Revolution held a promise of emancipation, it remains unfulfilled but
engenders hope. The book is both a history of women during and during
the Revolution. To do this, he begins his work in the 1770s. He shows
that, depending on social status-from queen to peasant woman-women play
a central role in the family, the workplace, and more broadly in
society, while remaining both socially and politically inexistent.
Nevertheless, the 1770s constituted a turning point, while remaining
invisible to men; they occupied a greater space in the public sphere.
The rupture of 1789 raised tremendous hope among some women, which is
manifested in two examples in particular. First, the march on Versailles
and the desire to hold public office. Hopes were quickly dashed. Women
citizens were citizens in name only, since their declarations only
applied to men. All attempts at reform, like those of revolutionary
women, were dismissed. While a few managed to defend the revolution or
play an important role, like Pauline Léon or Claire Lacombe, they were
excluded by the Montagnards and remained considered subordinate.
From the fall of Robespierre to that of Napoleon, those in power would
constantly try to keep them marginalized and treat them like children,
the Civil Code being the most convincing illustration.
However, despite this gloomy picture, Jean-Clément Martin shows that the
space occupied in the public sphere was growing and that, despite an
unfulfilled promise, the French Revolution did, admittedly, modestly
contribute to the construction of a broader and long-term movement.
